Entry Requirements

Entry requirements for offshore domestic students can differ from those listed on the Monash website for international students. The reason for this is that domestic students are eligible to apply for SEAS - VTAC’s universal Special Entry Access Scheme. You will also need to meet all subject prerequisites for the particular course that you are applying for.

If you need further clarification or would like to check your results and prerequisites before you apply, please make an appointment or email us at sci-futurestudents@monash.edu.

Assumed knowledge (international qualifications only - excluding IB, and Australian Year 12 programs)

If you have completed a Monash approved international senior secondary qualification (or higher qualification) with maths and/science at the required level, it will be assumed that students have reached the level of knowledge equivalent to the VCE prerequisite required for the Monash course.

To support students’ preparation for their course, Monash will strongly recommend in the offer letter that students strengthen their knowledge in the relevant areas by completing specific online maths and/or science modules before commencing their studies at Monash University.

Do I need to complete an English language test? 

If you have completed high school in an English speaking country, there is a good chance you don’t need an English Language test, especially if you completed an English or English-rich subject as part of your final year of schooling.

If you haven't completed at least six years of schooling in an English medium institution in an English-speaking country, before the age of 19, you can meet the English language requirements through a range of ways. These can include tertiary study, an English language course or an English language test.

Please read carefully through the English language requirements.

Please be aware that some courses may have a higher English language requirement.
